Abstract

Official transport statistics is a broad, complex and important domain in the area of official statistics. Due to the dynamics of transport markets, their economic framework and legal regulation as well as the evolving challenges for transport economics, companies, research and policy the statistical users’ needs are also subject to continuous change. This article presents the main results of a study conducted by the Institute of Transport and Logistics
Management at Vienna University of Economics and Business which focused on the requirements on future developments in the field of official transport statistics from the users’ perspective.
